@zdl Yeah, it's reasonable to assume Colour of Magic is a good starting place because it's the one that got published "On Merit", but it's really not a good one. It improves once you've read other things by TP and see his "voice" at the beginning.

And I don't much like any of the Witches series ... you might be thinking of "Witches Abroad".

My personal favourite is "Guards! Guards!", but again, it's fairly early. You might get along better with the "Industrial Revolution" series, such as the one where they invent an early version of the internet, or where they revive the Postal Service.

If you fancy giving it another go, you can try this quiz:

I really, really enjoy reading Pratchett, but there is a *huge* spread, and sometimes it just takes the right one to get into the swing of it all.

Let me know if you'd like to give it another try ... happy to chat about the pros and cons, swings and roundabouts, ins and outs, and whatnot.

But also, feel free to ignore me.
